Dear Erin:
We have just been talking about sending you some pictures of Sam since we have some great ones, with and without kids. Sam is doing great!! You couldn't have given us a better dog for our family than this one. He is just another family member. The kids love him, Zachary is two now and the twins, Charlotte and Matthew are one. Sam is Zach's best buddy. Sam is smart, wants to please and sure likes to be petted all the time. He is best friends with our other dog Tuxedo the Sheltie. When I send you the pictures you will understand what I mean by saying that you gave us the right dog. You will see Zachary laying on Sam (and wrestling) as a pup and Sam just loves it. There is not anything I can't think of Sam doesn't allow from the kids and you know your self with having a little nephew that kids aren't always that gentle on them.....Sam listens to the commands; sit, lay down, stay, he'll go to his pad if you tell him to, he can roll over on his back if you say 'bang bang' and pretend he is shot.....(the kids love it). He and Tux love to run with our horses and play with each other, playing fetch is another favorite. Sam is very energetic and goes with me for a run when I load up all three little ones in the triple jogger. We run and end up in the playground for the little ones where Sam gets to see and enjoy other kids. Where ever you go in the house, whether I'm cleaning a diaper or folding laundry, Sam is right there with you. We love Sam and he just looks gorgeous! Thank you Erin and we will send you pictures a.s.a.p., just give me a little time to select the real nice ones! How is everything going with you and your most recent litter(s)? Stay in touch and if you would ever like to use me as a reference, I would be happy to.
Kind regards,
Saskia Walker
